BlackPAC is a left-leaning political action committee focused on mobilizing and engaging with African American voters.[1] It was founded in 2016.[2] It has worked to turn out black voters in prominent elections in the United States, including the 2017 United States Senate special election in Alabama and the 2017 Virginia gubernatorial election.[3][4][5] BlackPAC works with non-partisan VoteRiders to spread state-specific information on voter ID requirements.[6]
